After completing the SIP agreement we felt like most groups...now what?! The SIP agreement was a great chance for us to figure out what we still needed to figure out - as far as the contents of her files, their size, and co-creator rights. Since Dr. Roy's schedule keeps her busy (and out of the country) we have not been able to answer many of these questions. One of the most difficult aspects of this project is coordinating with an active and living donor. We have learned we need to be careful in how we word our correspondence with her and know that her time is limited so we have to make any time spent together worth while. Once Dr. Roy returns from Egypt after Spring Break we should be able to answer many of our questions.
While we are waiting to meet with Dr. Roy we have decided to focus on a task that is within our control - research! While we have done cursory research on Pine email and webcrawlers, we still have yet to be able to define their significant properties. Over break we will focus on this research and try to relate previous work in these areas to our project. We also need to compile the information we have collected on Dr. Roy's personal bio and collection scope.
All of this should keep us busy until we are able to meet with Dr. Roy again.
